Harry Kane Wants to Win World Cup and Ballon d'Or in 2026

England captain Harry Kane has openly declared his ambition to achieve a remarkable double in 2026: winning the World Cup with the national team and securing the prestigious Ballon d'Or award for the world's best player.

“

I would be lying if I said I had never imagined lifting the World Cup. That is my ambition and my goal.

Kane, who recently completed a successful season with Bayern Munich, winning the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal, expressed his strong desire to lift the World Cup trophy. "I would be lying if I said I had never imagined lifting the World Cup," Kane stated. He believes England is well-equipped to achieve this goal, pointing to the team's consistent performance in recent major tournaments, including reaching two Euro finals, a World Cup semi-final, and a World Cup quarter-final.

“

We have come very close to winning a major tournament in recent years.

"We have come very close to winning a major tournament in recent years," Kane noted, emphasizing the team's potential with its current generation of talented young players. He also expressed confidence in his own capabilities, stating, "I will definitely be among the main contenders" for the Ballon d'Or in 2026. Kane feels that his achievements with Bayern Munich this season, combined with his goal-scoring record, provide a solid foundation for his Ballon d'Or aspirations.

“

I will definitely be among the main contenders.

He further suggested that an England victory at the 2026 World Cup could significantly boost the chances of an English player, potentially himself, winning the Ballon d'Or. Kane, however, remains focused on performance, vowing to "try to deliver the best performances" in North America to impress both fans and experts.

If England wins the World Cup 2026, people can imagine the trophy will go to an English player.
